SK realistic estimated timeline of 18 months maximum, hopefully sooner, will allow for design, engineer and testing modifications to be addressed. SK learned from Phase II that even the simple modifications can result in hours of engineering and design work. The successful completion of the DOTWASH system was designed and developed. The overall components were tested with good operating capabiliti ...

Design and field test system, at interested DOT sites, research commercialization market, seek pre-orders from State, Federal, Tribal and local Government entities for full production phase.

PRESENT DAY FIRE DETECTORS NORMALLY EMPLOY A SINGLE SENSOR, SUCH AS AN OPTICAL DENSITY OR IONIZATION DETECTOR, THAT HAS WELL KNOWN LIMITATIONS. ALARM DECISIONS ARE THUS BASED ON A SINGLE MEASUREMENT THAT IS OFTEN INACCURATE, AND INSENSITIVE. WE PROPOSE TO USE AN ARRAY OF VERY SMALL AND INEXPENSIVE SOLID-STATE DEVICES THAT ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO A VARIETY OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS AND CHEMICAL VAPOR PRO ...

INCREASING DEMAND FOR INTERNATIONAL INTERMODAL CONTAINER-HANDLING CAPABILITY IS RAPIDLY BEGINNING TO EXCEED THE CAPABILITY OF U.S. WEST COAST PORTS TO PROVIDE FACILITIES TO EFFICIENTLY ACCOMODATE IT. THIS TRAFFIC MUST MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM A MARINE MODE OF TRANSPORT, PRIMARILY TO RAIL TRANSPORT AND VICE VERSA. THE PROCESS AT PRESENT IS INEFFICIENT AND CONSEQUENTLY EXPENSIVE; THE END RESULT IS I ...
